Listening History


Madrid, Spain
Fascinated by the mechanics of hip hop, with it’s hipnotic sense of protest, along with the purest old school and all that the movement entails – break dance, graffiti… Lean started to get into the club scene with the new sounds that emerged in the mid-nineties, attracted by the most underground and abstract of these. Traversing a line from hip hop to techno but always with a firm focus on the dancefloor he composed his first live sets of tech-house full of dub and basslines.
From what was his starting point (with partner in crime Sergio Bajo as Ricemasters) at the end of the nineties to today Lean has immersed himself in an atmosphere charged with electronic elements, always ultilising arrangements both innovative and elegant.
Lean has brought both his DJ and live sets to various clubs in Madrid like Barbú, Freedom, Cool, Ya´sta, the first three editions of RC899 (a rave in Barajas), the first edition of Encuentro de Vanguardias (Recycled Sound) as well in London and Australia.
